Fantasy Impact
One game after being held without a rebound, Porter Jr. made up for it with 14 boards on Thursday. It was his 10th double-double of the season. All was not roses, however, as he shot only 40.9% on the night and committed a season-high tying six turnovers. In eight February games, Porter Jr. is averaging 19.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists but is shooting just 40.6% from the field.
Michael Porter Jr. scored a game-high 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3PT, 6-6 FT) but did not record a rebound and had only three assists in Brooklyn's 123-114 loss to Dallas on Tuesday night.
Fantasy Impact
The scoring was there for Porter, but he was kept off the glass and had only three assists in nearly 33 minutes. He entered the night averaging more than seven rebounds per game, but had his first goose egg on the glass this season - and snapped a streak of 77 consecutive games with at least one board. Porter III is averaging 19.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in seven games in February.
Michael Porter Jr. scored 18 points (8-19 FG, 1-8 3PT, 1-1 FT) with seven rebounds and six assists in Sunday's 115-104 loss against the Atlanta Hawks.
Fantasy Impact
Porter continues to struggle from beyond the arc, hitting just 3-of-23 over his last three games. Still, he’s finding ways to produce for fantasy managers, averaging 18 points, seven rebounds and 4.3 assists during that span. He’ll look to regain his shooting touch from three in Tuesday’s matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.
Michael Porter Jr. filled the stat sheet for the Nets Friday night, dishing out five assists, recording two steals, grabbing nine rebounds, and scoring 22 points (6-16 FG, 1-9 3PT, 9-11 FT) in a 105-86 loss to the Thunder.
Fantasy Impact
Porter Jr. continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out two or more assists, grabbing two or more rebounds, and scoring nine or more points in each of his last five games. The forward continues to offer fantasy managers one of the few impactful options as part of an underwhelming Brooklyn lineup, averaging 24.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 29.2% so far this season.
Michael Porter Jr. scored 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3PT, 3-3 FT) with five rebounds, two assists and one block in Thursday's 112-84 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact
The Brooklyn Nets struggled early, as the game got out of hand quickly with the Cleveland Cavaliers leading by 18 after the first quarter and 102–59 late in the third. Porter was limited to 21 minutes, so there’s a chance he suits up for the second leg of the back-to-back Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
